One thing that I do to help me is to insert a pause at the end of the
post code
while [ ! -e /tmp/stop.txt ]; do
sleep 1
done
that allows the installation to wait until the file /tmp/stop.txt is
created (manually).
In the mean while we have access to a shell through one of the
terminals, I think that it is Crtl-Alt-F2 but I'm not sure.
It is very usefull since we can go any where and inspect the system.
It is even possible to go into /proc and see if status of your process
(environment, etc).
Hope that it will help.
Don't forget to remove the pause once you fix the problem(s).

Have you tried putting in the full path name of mkdir, i.e.:
/bin/mkdir -p /var/mario/mario
There isn't much of an environment in %post. I have used full path names
in all of the commands that I use in %post, e.g.:
/bin/mkdir /etc/ssh2
/bin/mv aliases aliases.release
/bin/cp -p /mnt/FileSystem/mscc/etc/aliases aliases

That also does not work.
It is not only the mkdir that not works but everything under %post.

Might I suggest trying "mkdir -p /var/mario/mario" for that command?
The
'-p' flag will have it create the parent directory also, if it does not
exist, since I'm guessing that it wouldn't on a standard installation
done
via kickstart (see 'man mkdir').
